Hey Joe do you think a corner from a cut up m90 can be of any use. You can just graft the pieces in from there or however you want to do it. I have the whole corner and side panel . I primed it gray though.
I acrylic cemented all the plastic screw post bits I could find and all the cracks.
Stole the antennas off my Gold Helix gpx990. Polished the chrome rings and vertical trims. Cleaned the radio band buttons. Mounted the VUs. Mounted transformer. A little progress is better than none

Making headway.
Amazing this thing didn't end up in the dumpster years ago.
Nice work Joe

Joe, you´re a true wizard, really, lesser mortal like me would have left it there where it is, but as M90 is such a grail and hell of a boombox and now this thing looks so far amazing ! What do you use for cleaning speakers ? Good job man, waiting to see the final product along with others 
M90 speakers luckily are poly coated. I dust them off with a toothbrush. Spray windex on an old tshirt I use as a rag wrapped around 1 finger. Lightly make circular passes to wipe and wetten the crud. Keep wiping until its clean and dry.
I was gonna say the same thing, Joe this resto is an inspiration to watch, one day I will have to attempt a rebuild.blu_fuz said:
As a gorilla glue newb, I clearly don't know how this **** works. I figured with the steel stick epoxy screw posts I made that adding a hard coating to where the epoxy meets plastic just for strength wouldn't hurt. I pictured gorilla glue to be like super glue. Squirt it and let it harden in a thick puddle over that new seam......
I didn't know you had to wet your surfaces. I didn't know this **** expanded! And I didn't know it foamed up. Wtf is this **** for?????
I don't think the way it is curing that it is helping one bit to secure the seam between epoxy and plastic. I'm ****in aggravated with it.

I was about to ask you what the grey gunky stuff was you used on the posts, I think I need to know more about this than ever now. Has it caused any damage to the BB plastics or is the reaction/whatever solely limited to the product?
The gorilla glue probably didn't damage anything, but now it's an ugly mess and didn't help anything either. Boooo
The steel stick epoxy seems to working good. I've never used it for screw posts so we will see how it holds.

I think those LEDs need a light diffuser. 
May be it is my problem!
I cannot put LEDs that lights up like a Christmas tree.

With this project I am making an acception about the lights. This is a mod box already and lights are the least of my worries and it has been something I wanted to try for awhile. If it was an OG M90, I would go way classier on the light color, diffusion, and placement.
